Chapter two pt 2Mature

Mom and I get back from a quiet sit down dinner of pizza and bread sticks, “only the finest cuisine for us.” she says in that corny Italian accent I thought was funny when I was five.

“I think I ate my way into a food coma.”

“Puh- lease you ate one and a half slices did you see all the leftovers I had boxed up.”

“Get out of the car.” The kid demands.

Mom looks up the gas attendant is oblivious texting on his phone as he's pumping our gas.

I'm not sure what Max's response was but judging by the bald kid's expression it wasn't what he wanted to hear. The kid reaches in his back pocket for something. Mom notices something weird going on, “What the hell?!” She gets out of the car.
